FILE - This is a Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012 file photo of Booker Prize winning Nigerian author Ben Okri smiles as he talks about his novel "Famished Road" during the Jaipur Literature Festival, in Jaipur, in the western Indian state of Rajasthan, India. Booker Prize-winning Nigerian writer Ben Okri has won the uncoveted Bad Sex in Fiction Award, a prize for erotic literary encounters that push all the wrong buttons. The writer took the tongue-in-cheek honor Wednesday Dec. 3, 2014 for conjuring an over-the-top passage in his novel "The Age of Magic." "The universe was in her and with each movement it unfolded to her," Okri wrote. "Somewhere in the night a stray rocket went off." (AP Photo/Manish Swarup, File)
